Yorkshire Radio are reporting that Celtic's Alan Thompson has signed until the end of the season. The move was expected after Thompson's agent admitted the player was in talks with the Elland Road club.
Thompson, who has been at Celtic for 6 years is 33 years old, but could be a huge player in the Championship. The left footed central midfielder started his career at Newcastle, but moved to Bolton after a handful of appearances. From there, he went to Aston Villa in a big money move, before finally moving to Celtic about 6 years.
The player has been linked to Leeds many times over the years, and it appears that Dennis Wise has got one of his top transfer targets.
